Abstract: The hardware available for computer-assisted language learning is rapidly improving. Software development continues to lag, and the empirical foundation for second language acquisition research is inadequate. A strategy for remedying these deficiencies is outlined. Networked microcomputers whose software for computer-assisted language learning generates logs of user activity for analysis of second language acquisition offer interesting possibilities both for practical applications and in research. With access to a national network of data, testing, and teaching materials, such local networks will support advanced workstations and software allowing more complex interactions with the learning environment.
